My family likes sweet breads, and this loaf incorporates many of their favorite ingredients. I'm a former newspaper food columnist, and coming up with flavorful recipes that are a little out-of-the-ordinary is a favorite pastime. Ingredients:
3 cups king arthur unbleached all-purpose flour |
1 cup sugar |
1 cup packed brown sugar |
2 to 3 teaspoons ground cinnamon |
2 teaspoons baking powder |
1 teaspoon baking soda |
1 teaspoon salt |
1 teaspoon ground ginger |
1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon ground cloves |
3 eggs |
3/4 cup orange juice |
3/4 cup vegetable oil |
1 teaspoon vanilla extract |
2 cups grated carrots |
1 cup (6 ounces) semisweet chocolate chips |
Directions:
1. In a large bowl, combine the first nine ingredients. In a small bowl, beat the eggs, orange juice, oil and vanilla. Stir into the dry ingredients just until moistened. Fold in the carrots and chocolate chips.
2. Transfer to two greased 8-in. x 4-in. loaf pans. Bake at 350° for 55-60 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean. Cool for 10 minutes before removing from pans to wire racks. Yield: 2 loaves.
